 What is It

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Procedures are a set of systematic

plans and actions to prevent any accidents and diseases related to work. Identifying
and recognizing the workplace hazards and risks is meticulously planned.

What is 'hazard' and 'risk'?

A hazard is a potential source of any harm or adverse effect to anyone. A risk
is the possibility that a person may be harmed or suffers adverse health effects if
exposed to a hazard. It is important that the management recognizes these hazards
so that the risk of having mishaps will be minimized.

Three common steps in managing health and safety at a workplace

1. Hazard Identification - being able to identify something as a potential hazard
to anyone will greatly minimize the chance of it to become a risk.
2. Risk Assessment – this is conducted to comprehend the severity of the hazard
and its potential outcomes.
3. Risk Control – this is a technique that helps the management in creating
plans and changes to reduce the chances of risks to happen in a workplace.

Contingency Measures are a part of the standard workplace health and

safety policies and procedures that are being implemented at a job. It is designed to
deal with any minor or major incident or emergency that may occur during the time
a task is performed.

Most Common Goals of having Contingency Measures

1. Prevent aggravated injuries or death – having personnel severely injured, or
worse, having someone die in the workplace while performing his daily task is
the last scenario any workplace would like to encounter.

5
 2. Reduce the damage to the workplace and its equipment – aside from
protecting the personnel, the workplace itself must be secured from further
damages.
3. Continue the workflow – after applying the appropriate contingency
measure, work must resume as soon as possible.
